A few days ago I found a thread at OrigamiProject forum with a some registry keys that according to the author could speed up Vista a little bit in our devices.
You will notice a good improvement in Outlook 2007 and other applications. If you want to know what every key does and some tests result, check this thread.
Warning: Do no apply the second trick unless you have at least 1Gb of RAM.
Update: James Kendrick tested this hack just reported that all his issue with HDD trashing without reason has disappeared after applying this hack. In another hand, I just prepared a VBS Script to apply this hack.
Updated 2: Kevin is reporting that when the page excutive is disabled his Zune skips 20 seconds before the end of each song.
There another thing that I should point. I have read sometime ago some tests where it was reported that Superfetch was not working properly at all when the Machine had 1 GB of RAM or less. The only time when the Superfetch helping effect was felt was when the machine had more than or 2GB. _________________ www.ultramobilepc-tips.com
Well, I'm going back to No Superfetch. Definitely it does not work probably in these machines. As soon as I enable it the HDD trashing starts and the CPU activity increases without any reason. _________________ www.ultramobilepc-tips.com

According to Microsoft:
Quote:
Windows SuperFetch
A new memory management technology in Windows Vista, Windows SuperFetch, helps keep the computer consistently responsive to your programs by making better use of the computer's RAM. Windows SuperFetch prioritizes the programs you're currently using over background tasks and adapts to the way you work by tracking the programs you use most often and preloading these into memory. With SuperFetch, background tasks still run when the computer is idle. However, when the background task is finished, SuperFetch repopulates system memory with the data you were working with before the background task ran. Now, when you return to your desk, your programs will continue to run as efficiently as they did before you left.
